New Year Greetings.

The close of the old year and the advent of
the new, marks another cycle in the flight of
time. It is the season of good will, of kindly
affections, of high resolves, of generous i'm
pulses. The-ADyocArEi is in just such mood.
at the close of the holidays, and sends its
hearty greetings to all. The old year has
"gone glimmering with the past, the present
IS with us, the future before u.s. but what it
has in store for each and all is beyond human
ken. With a sigh ofregret for the mischanees
and failures of the past, it is wise. to address
ourselves to the present, and to go forward
buoyant with hope and full of expectation for
the future.
Were it competent for US to do so, poe would
dispense to all such things as there seems to
be the greatest need Of. Fer instance:
We would give, to the Christian world, a
liberal endowment of unity an>r y. Big
otry is not religion, but the S;8site.
To the pulpit, themes (" sacred, less
secular; burning zeal witS Spest humility,
and the employment Of Il ) sailable means
to evangelize the world.
To the bench, exact eqs s 2he scales
ofjusticc, squarely drawn 5 . no buz,
zing reelection bees IN tb
To the bar, no bar to justice nee
right, no bar to truth; honor and fail(
tween man and man, and perpetual ca a.
pliRcation that legal science i the ''perfec-
tion Of human reason.
To the press, a higher appreciation of its
position as the worlds great shield and faith
full servitor, not its seavenger
To the metropolitan dailies, less of the Pc
culiarities of the 6atzzdgro rulgaris, and dis
position to feed on more dainty pabulum than
the murders, arsons, seductions, and liaisons
ofthe vile and vicious, the filth and carrion
Of the social world.
To our brethren Of the hebdomadal press
the salt Of the earth-the jealous preservation
of its savor
To the Titans of the Civil Scrrice Record,
less appreciation of themselves, and a higher
appreciation of others. Though doubtless
they are ''the people," yet wisdom is not
likely to die with them.
To Civil Service Reformers, and denizers
of Utopia generally,-caiaion Beware of
limitations. None genuine unleszsthe name is
blown in the bottle.
To the Democratic Independents, who pur-
posed to meet on the 9Th of January the an
niversary of the battle of New Orleans, but
postponed the meeting To- tho It'll, to
their purturbed spirits, little more of
the spirit of Old Hickory, who never raised
his hand to strike down his party organization
under the pretext of reform"
To the Crescent and Calumet clubs of the
Baltimore Democracy, merger, or "a plague
on both your houses" We want no Tamma-
ny and, Irving Hall jealousies and rivalries in
Maryland. The Democracy Of the counties
will have none of it. Coalesee. ''agree with

Physicians Have Pound Out
That communicating and foreign ele-
ment in the blood, developed by indi-
gestion, is the cause of rheumatism.
This settles upon the sensitive, sub
cutaneous covering of the muscles and
ligaments ofthe joints, causing constant
and shifting pain, and aggregating as a
calcareous, chally deposit which pro-
duces stiffness and distortion of the
joints. No fact which experience has
demonstrated in regard to Hostetter,s
Stomach Bitters has stronger. evidence
to support than this, namely, that this
medicine OF comprehensive uses checks
the formidable and atrecious disease,
nor is it less positively established that
it is preferable to the poisons often used
to arrest it, since the medicine contains
only salutary ingredients. 1t is also a
signal remedy for malarial fevers, con-
stipation, dyspepsia, kidney and blad-
der ailments, debility and other disord-
ers. See that You get the genuine.

A PoINTER.-One of our neigh
boring exchanges says something
about the way to increase and build
up a town. 1t is as true as gospel
and we wish every. citizen of Point
Pleasant would commit to memory
the paragraph below and net upon
its suggestionss
When a man in search of a lOca-
ton or home goes to a place and
finds everything brim full of hope
and enthusiasm over the prospects
OF the place, and everybody earn
estly at work to bnild up the town,
he soon becomes imbued with the
spirit, and as a result he drives
down his stake and goes to work
with the same interest. When,
however, he goes to town where
everyone expresses doubt and APP
prohension as to the future pros
perity of the place, moping about
'induIging in complaints about inn
aginary evils likely to befall the
town, he naturally feels that it is
no place for him, and at once shakes
the dust from his feet and pulls with
all possible speed for some other
town. Consequently try to make
a live, and enterprising and pro-
gressive town out of the one you
live in. When you are working
for or saying good thing for your
town you are accomplishing all the
moro Tor your self.
